Describe your projects

What you study, the work you're proud of and what you're looking for next. Cactal writes the pages, sets up your contact form and publishes the site.

How it works

  1. 1 Pick a design

    Browse by field or goal and open any design to see it full size.

  2. 2 Add your projects

    Your projects, studies, skills and what you're looking for next. Cactal writes every page and builds the site from your design.

  3. 3 Publish

    Ask for changes in plain words until it's right, then publish free on a Cactal domain, or on your own domain with Pro.

What a student portfolio website needs

What you study and what you want next

Your field, your year and what you're looking for, like an internship, a first job or a place in a program. Reviewers skim, so put it in the first line.

A few strong projects

Pick three to five pieces you're proud of rather than everything you've made. Class projects count when you explain the brief and your thinking.

Your part in group work

Say exactly what you did on team projects, whether that was research, code, writing or visuals. Reviewers want to know what you can do yourself.

Process, not only the result

Sketches, drafts and early versions show how you think, which matters most when your experience is short.

A resume or CV to download

Link a current resume, or an academic CV if you're in graduate school, and keep it in step with the site. Add the coursework, awards and activities that a short work history leaves out.

Easy to reach, careful with details

A contact form on every page lets people reach you without your email on show. Keep your home address and phone number off a public site, especially if you're under 18.

Questions

Are these student portfolio templates free?

Every design here is free to start from. You can sign up, build and publish on a Cactal domain without a card and with no time limit. Putting your site on a domain you own is $25 a month on Pro, or $240 a year.

Do I need to know how to code or design?

No. Describe your work in plain words and Cactal builds, edits and publishes the site. When you want a change, ask for it the same way.

How much does a student portfolio website cost?

A custom build from a web designer often runs into the thousands of dollars and takes weeks. A builder template costs less, but you still write and fill in every page. With Cactal it's free to build and publish on a Cactal address, and your own domain is $25 a month on Pro, or $240 a year, with no setup fee.

Can I use my own domain?

Yes. Every site starts on a free Cactal address. Connect a domain you own on Pro for $25 a month, or $240 a year, and each additional website on its own domain is $20 a month.

Who owns the website?

You do. Every Cactal site is real React source code, so you can take it and run it anywhere. There is no export to buy.

Are these real students?

No. Each design is an illustration made by Cactal, and the names, people, schools, projects and photos in it are fictional. Your site is built around your own work.

Can I link to my portfolio from applications?

Yes. Every site gets a free Cactal address you can share right away, on a resume, an application or a profile. If you want your own domain later, you can connect it on Pro.

What if I don't have much work yet?

Start with class projects, personal projects and work in progress, and explain your thinking for each. Ask Cactal to add new projects as you finish them.
